Hi all,,, although their output is probably less than their EL84 counterparts, but can they handle the voltage of an AC30, or a Boogie DC3? Thanks

Re: JJ EL844?
Heard about these aswell-
Very curious to learn more about them.
I own a EL84 powered amp (Blackstar HT-20mkII)... and well, lowering the volume/breakup point would be great for my situation-
(playing in livingrooms, with other acoustic instruments).
Please reply guys, if you know anything about this tube!!

Re: JJ EL844?
^^ ok,
it can't hurt to try them, I guess- If they're made to direct fit an EL84 amp.
I play in livingrooms mostly, with an acoustic guitar at most...
And now, the ideal sound (with the amp on 2 watt switch on), is almost noon at master volume...
and thats LOUD! :o
So...I'm considering ordering a pair, when I get my paycheck.If somethings important- send a PM. I might be offline for long periods. Rock on!!!

Re: JJ EL844?
^^ My issue is- I've read reviews, that people say the EL844's sound "poor" and just doesn't sound as good, as a regular EL84.
Though... they aren't that expensive, so I could afford to experiment.If somethings important- send a PM. I might be offline for long periods. Rock on!!!

Re: JJ EL844?
If you're expecting to sound like the 84 but a bit lower volume I think that's probably where most reviews go wrong. It's a different profile. Early breakup, quieter and a slightly different tone. Supposedly it's closer to the full EL84 than if you activate a triode/pentode power saving method.
